Man Utd targeting a move for Xavi Simons
Manchester United are targeting a move for Paris Saint-Germain's Xavi Simons this summer as the Dutchman wants to leave the Parisiens as per The Sun.
Leipzig, along with rival German teams Bayern Munich and United, are one of three clubs expressing a keen interest. Simons' future at PSG is still out in the air, but considering his desire for regular playing time, it seems likely that the 21-year-old will leave the Parc de Princes this summer.
